Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Y.2721 provides identity management (IdM) example use cases and requirements for the next generation network (NGN) and its interfaces. IdM functions and capabilities are used to increase confidence in identity information and support and enhance business and security applications including identity-based services.

The requirements provided in this Recommendation are intended for NGN (i.e., managed packet networks) as defined in Recommendation ITU-T Y.2001.

The objectives and requirements in this Recommendation are based on the IdM framework provided in Recommendation ITU-T Y.2720 and an analysis of use case examples relevant to NGN. The example use cases are informative and are documented in the appendices of this Recommendation.
